Notes:

Charges brought by her mother, Mrs. Aurelia Devore, that she had taken advantage of her father, Johnson C. Devore, during his last illness to prevail upon him to substitute herself in the stead of her mother as beneflciary under a $2,000 life insurance policy were flatly denied by Mrs. Mary Edna Plummer in an answer filed this morning to the bill of complaint lodged a few days ago by Mrs. Devore. Mrs. Plummer makes the counter charge that her mother deserted her husband more than eighteen months before his death and that she had exercised cruel and indifferent treatment towards him for the several years antedating his death. During the last year and a half of his life, Mrs. Plummer claims that her father lived alone and that she cooked for him and otherwise tended his needs during that time. She denies that at any time before his death was her father incapable of executing a valid deed of contract and taking care of all ordinary business transactions. Mrs. Plummer claims that her father made her the beneficiary of his life insurance policy "because of her considerate kindness and attention to him in the sunset of his life." Out of the face value of the policy, she said she paid bills incident to her father's last illness and funeral amounting to $477.98. Mrs. Plummer's answer was filed by Morgan C. Harris, attorney.
